D'Anjou Savory Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • for the pizza dough:

  • In a large bowl, combine the yeast, honey, and warm water. Let stand until the yeast becomes foamy, about 5 minutes. Add in the salt and 2 Tbsp olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat and bread flours. Add the flour mixture to the large bowl, a bit at a time, working it in with your hands (your could use a stand mixer for this). If the dough seems dry, add more water (only 1 Tbsp at a time); if it seems too sticky, add more flour (only 1 Tbsp at a time). You want your dough to be smooth and elastic.
  • Once the dough comes together, knead it on a floured surface for a minute, then form it into a ball. Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit!
  • The dough will have doubled in size; punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Stretch the dough out into a long cylinder and cut it into 3 equal pieces. Cover and let rest for another 10 minutes (it will be easier to work with).
  • Roll one piece of dough out on a floured surface into a circle; the thinner you roll it out, the crispier the pizza crust will be (about 1/8 thick is good).

  • for the toppings:

  • While waiting for the dough to rise, grease a heavy pan with olive oil and heat over medium high. Spread the onions in a single layer and allow to become soft and golden; season with s&p.
  • Transfer the rolled-out crust to a pizza stone or baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Brush a thin layer of olive oil over the top and sprinkle on the garlic and onions in an even layer.
  • Add the cheddar in an even layer, then the sausage.
  • Layer the pear slices in a decorative pattern and top with the shaved pecorino romano and a few turns of fresh black pepper.
  • Bake in your preheated (500 degree) oven on the middle rack for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden and the cheese is bubbly!
